It’s been lacking every time Piatti’s not there. That little bit of creativity, or unpredictability.
Well, the great Argentine was not on the field today, but some of the missing ingredient was, and it came from new signing Omar Browne.
Browne became the first Impact player to score a debut goal for the club in MLS since Kyle Bekker in 2015, and what a wonderful piece of opportunism it was.
Impact had produced a solid performance but didn’t look like breaking the deadlock. The Fire, well organized and comfortably winding their way down to only their second road-point, may have been thinking job (almost) done.
